Penny for your thoughts....

Howdy! Well, it's heating up here in the desert...that's for sure. I'm excited to take Ryan to the pool this summer. I'll be the mom with the white legs and maternity swim suit! Oh yes, I can see it now! I've been chatting with some of my BYU roomies lately about pregnancy. Amazingly, 4 out of 6 of us are currently pregnant! Leave it to the Mormons to "multiply and replinish" the earth hugh? Well, we were trying to come up with just a few things that make us feel "attractive" during pregnancy. As thrilled as I am to be expecting a new little one, I was racking my brain to come up with even one! So, I thought it would be a fun question to throw out there... All you moms...what do you think??
Here's what I came up with:

1. A pedicure helps
2. Chatting with other gals about being preggo helps make your "bodily mis-haps" seem a little more normal.
3. The increase in bra size might be a plus for some...ie, mostly husbands
4. Working out at the gym makes you feel a little more like "super-woman"... but no matter what, that bum keeps getting bigger!
5. Your husband being in awe of how huge your belly is looking is entertaining but not so flattering.

So in conclusion, despite the 9 months of my body not "functioning normally" (will spare the details) or feeling "not so sexy" I do get a little miracle in the end. So is it worth it...you betcha!

I felt so much better after we went to Hawaii and I got some sun! I definitely agree that it is very worth it. Can't wait to see your little stud!

Very funny...there is absolutely nothing that makes me feel sexy during pregnancy...maybe when my husband has to put on my shoes because I can't reach my toes anymore, just so I can go to the gym to try to prevent the inevitable. That is pretty romantic! You know the old saying though, it is OK to be white and skinny or fat and tan, but not white and fat! Therefore, my vote is a tan could definitely help!

Love your "penny for your thoughts" I was roll'in! I think that you are still a HOT mama when your preggo! Hey, was your friend wearing my preggo swimsuit? I think that it looked a lot better on her than me :) I think my boobs got bigger than hers...those darn things!!
